Es el numero uno.
Suena como mariposas,
como la naturaleza,
como mucha dulzura.
Es el viento.
Es como el color rosado,
como puntos rosados,
chiquitas mariposas.
Y como hablo en vos baja.
Se siente libre.
Como estas corriendo afuera en la naturaleza,
y el viento soplando,
sobre ti
hermosos colores de blanco,
y arco iris todas partes.
Suena como el sonido de la naturaleza
como toda esta en silencio
Es como
querer animals i la naturaleza
querer nadir,
querer dibujar,
y escribir.

It is the number one.
It sound like butterflies,
like nature,
like sweetness.
It sounds like kindness
and wind.
It is the color pink,
like pink dots and,
little pink butterflies.
It means how I talk
in a whisper.
It feels free.
It’s like you’re running outside
in nature,
the wind blowing
on your beautiful colors of white,
and rainbows all around.
It sounds like nature’s sound,
peace, quiet.
It loves animals and nature,
loves to swim,
loves to draw,
loves to write.
